The interpret-trailers command recently learned some options
to make its output easier to parse (for a caller whose only
interested in picking out the trailer values). But it's not
very efficient for asking for the trailers of many commits
in a single invocation.
We already have "%(trailers)" to do that, but it doesn't
know about unfolding or omitting non-trailers. Let's plumb
those options through, so you can have the best of both.

The last few commits have added command line options that
can turn interpret-trailers into a parsing tool. Since
they'd most often be used together, let's provide a
convenient single option for callers to invoke this mode.
This is implemented as a callback rather than a boolean so
that its effect is applied immediately, as if those options
had been specified. Later options can then override them.
E.g.:
git interpret-trailers --parse --no-unfold
would work.
Let's also update the documentation to make clear that this
parsing mode behaves quite differently than the normal
"add trailers to the input" mode.

The point of "--only-trailers" is to give a caller an output
that's easy for them to parse. Getting rid of the
non-trailer material helps, but we still may see more
complicated syntax like whitespace continuation. Let's add
an option to unfold any continuation, giving the output as a
single "key: value" line per trailer.
As a bonus, this could be used even without --only-trailers
to clean up unusual formatting in the incoming data.

It can be useful to invoke interpret-trailers for the
primary purpose of parsing existing trailers. But in that
case, we don't want to apply existing ifMissing or ifExists
rules from the config. Let's add a special mode where we
avoid applying those rules. Coupled with --only-trailers,
this gives us a reasonable parsing tool.

In theory it's easy for any reader who wants to parse
trailers to do so. But there are a lot of subtle corner
cases around what counts as a trailer, when the trailer
block begins and ends, etc. Since interpret-trailers already
has our parsing logic, let's let callers ask it to just
output the trailers.
They still have to parse the "key: value" lines, but at
least they can ignore all of the other corner cases.

The paragraph that describes the 'scissors' cleanup mode of
'commit' had the 'cut-line' in the middle of a sentence. This
made it possible for the line to get wrapped on smaler windows.
This shouldn't be the case as it makes it hard for the user to
understand the structure of the cut-line.
Reformat the pragraph to make the 'cut-line' stand on a line of
it's own thus distinguishing it from the rest of the paragraph.
This further prevents it from getting wrapped to some extent.

When illustrating how to normalize the line endings, the
documentation in gitattributes tells the user to `rm .git/index`.
This is incorrect for two reasons:
- Users shouldn't be instructed to mess around with the internal
implementation of Git using raw file system tools like `rm`.
- Within a submodule or an additional working tree `.git` is just a
file containing a `gitdir: <path>` pointer into the real `.git`
directory. Therefore `rm .git/index` does not work.
The purpose of the `rm .git/index` instruction is to remove all entries
from the index without touching the working tree. The way to do this
with Git is to use `read-tree --empty`.

When compiling the documentation, asciidoc thinks a backtick surrounded
by whitespace shouldn't be interpreted as marking the start or end of a
literal. In most cases, that's useful behaviour, but in the git-pull
documentation it means asciidoc is failing to correctly detect which
text should be monospaced and which shouldn't.
To avoid this, remove the extraneous spaces from the text to be
monospaced. It would also be possible to fix the formatting by
switching to asciidoc's ++ monospace format markers and still have the
space characters included in the monospace text, but the spaces aren't
necessary and not having them keeps the markup simpler.
Also include a minor grammar fix suggested by Jeff while we're changing
these lines.

If a URL rewrite switches the protocol to something
nonstandard (like "persistent-https" for "https"), the user
may be bitten by the fact that the default protocol
restrictions are different between the two. Let's drop a
note in insteadOf that points the user in the right
direction.
It would be nice if we could make this work out of the box,
but we can't without knowing the security implications of
the user's rewrite. Only the documentation for a particular
remote helper can advise one way or the other. Since we do
include the persistent-https helper in contrib/ (and since
it was the helper in the real-world case that inspired that
patch), let's also drop a note there.

Change all the "TRANSLATORS: [...]" comments in the C code to use the
regular Git coding style, and amend the style guide so that the
example there uses that style.
This custom style was necessary back in 2010 when the gettext support
was initially added, and was subsequently documented in commit
cbcfd4e3ea ("i18n: mention "TRANSLATORS:" marker in
Documentation/CodingGuidelines", 2014-04-18).
GNU xgettext hasn't had the parsing limitation that necessitated this
exception for almost 3 years. Since its 0.19 release on 2014-06-02
it's been able to recognize TRANSLATOR comments in the standard Git
comment syntax[1].
Usually we'd like to keep compatibility with software that's that
young, but in this case literally the only person who needs to be
using a gettext newer than 3 years old is Jiang Xin (the only person
who runs & commits "make pot" results), so I think in this case we can
make an exception.
This xgettext parsing feature was added after a thread on the Git
mailing list[2] which continued on the bug-gettext[3] list, but we
never subsequently changed our style & styleguide, do so.
There are already longstanding changes in git that use the standard
comment style & have their TRANSLATORS comments extracted properly
without getting the literal "*"'s mixed up in the text, as would
happen before xgettext 0.19.
Commit 7ff2683253 ("builtin-am: implement -i/--interactive",
2015-08-04) added one such comment, which in commit df0617bfa7 ("l10n:
git.pot: v2.6.0 round 1 (123 new, 41 removed)", 2015-09-05) got picked
up in the po/git.pot file with the right format, showing that Jiang
already runs a modern xgettext.
The xgettext parser does not handle the sort of non-standard comment
style that I'm amending here in sequencer.c, but that isn't standard
Git comment syntax anyway. With this change to sequencer.c & "make
pot" the comment in the pot file is now correct:
#. TRANSLATORS: %s will be "revert", "cherry-pick" or
-#. * "rebase -i".
+#. "rebase -i".
